For quite a while now one feature I’ve felt was missing from the Facebook Graph API was searching for events by latitude and longitude along with a distance. You can currently issue a search for place objects, but the place object is the only one which honours the center and distance parameters.

For quite a while now one feature I’ve felt was missing from the Facebook Graph API was searching for events by latitude and longitude along with a distance. You can currently issue a search for place objects, but the place object is the only one which honours the center and distance parameters.

I’ve filed a bug report for the feature request for Facebook to implement this and we’ll see how that progresses. If you would like to add your notes to the feature request or show your support you can do so at https://developers.facebook.com/bugs/288653361182652.
